We have tried this with little success.  We have an open issue with Sun/Storage
about this and they told us it is not supported and they will not help us 
trouble
shoot it.  Are we failing because we are multistreaming?  We get the following 
error
after the -w time has elapsed ...

   EXIT STATUS 23:  socket read failed
